Team NewsStoke will check on the fitness of midfielder Matthew Etherington (back) and defender Marc Wilson (back/hamstring) ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Ashley Young will miss United's trip to Stoke after being ruled out for up to two weeks with an ankle injury sustained during Monday's defeat to Manchester City.
Match NotesSir Alex Ferguson's players still have the cigars out despite the embarrassment of Monday night's defeat to Manchester City and surely nothing can wreck their ambitions of another title.
Therefore this game is arguably more important for struggling Stoke, who have suffered an alarming slump that Roberto Mancini can only dream about happening to United.
With only one win since Boxing Day, Tony Pulis is under threat of his first ever relegation as a manager and his record against United also makes uncomfortable reading.
Stat of the game: If United lose following their defeat to City it will be the first time in 50 outings that they have suffered back-to-back losses.
